Veterans Education Benefits

Pima recognizes the sacrifice of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. As a veteran, survivor or dependent, you may be eligible for educational benefits to further your goals.

All College programs are approved for enrollment of veterans, survivors and dependents under Title 38 USC and selected reservists under Title 10 USC.

Starting Benefits

Pima welcomes veterans! If you would like to apply to use your Veteran Education Benefits at PCC, you will need to

be admitted to the College

satisfy the requirements listed in the Veterans Benefit Recipient Dashboard, located on your MyPima Veterans tab

meet with an advisor to discuss how your academic goals can be supported with your education benefits.

Have questions or need help determining your eligibility? Visit any campus Student Services Center, the Veteran’s Center at the Downtown Campus, or the Veteran’s Services Office at the District Office or contact us by phone or email.

Continuing Benefits

Deferment of Payments

Deferment of payment for tuition, fees and required books and materials is available to anyone who is eligible for, and has applied for, benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill Chapters 30, 31, 33, 35, 1606, and 1607.

Deferment considerations:

payments are deferred with no interest until the end of the deferral period

deferment is available during any registration period in which a veteran is awaiting GI Bill benefits

For information on eligibility requirements visit the Student Service Center at any campus or the PCC office at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. See maps for locations.

Mandatory Veterans Orientations

Starting Fall 2015 all veterans benefit recipients will be required to attend a veterans orientation session before they are certified for classes. This is a one-time only requirement. A courtesy hold will be placed on your VBR status immediately after certification to prevent changes that may adversely affect your benefits. To make registration changes, contact your assigned advisor.
